'Power Rangers' Reboot Gets Writers!

VIEW ALL TOPICS

The writers of X-Men: First Class will pen the new Power Rangers script!


Writers Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz (X-Men: First Class) have been hired to pen the Power Rangers script. They will also be working with Roberto Orci, who will serve as executive producer. 

The two writers have worked with Orci before on the sci-fi TV show Fringe. Orci recently departed with Sony and its current Spiderman franchise to direct Star Trek 3, but it looks like he will also be resurrecting this once dominant franchise. 

This film would be the third installment after Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie (1995) and Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie (1997). A Power Rangers Time Force film was in the works, but poor performance in Turbo ended all plans for future installments.

Unlike many other franchises, of late, this will be a reboot rather than a re-invented sequel. Only the core mythos of the Power Rangers will be preserved, but there will be original characters and story elements. 

The film is slated for a 2016 release!
